As Mark Rosewater is fond of saying, restrictions breed creativity. Lack of computational resources is a major restriction (for an extreme example of RAM shortage, look at how much code you can fit into a boot sector without loading anything more from the disk). Take away all the restrictions, and people will tend to code sloppily. Chris Angelico -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
